Infiniti M45 Sport Wheels on the Z
After doing the tire calcs, the rears are going to be 3.86% larger in diameter and the fronts are going to be 6.52% larger. The tires are 245/40/19 all around. I read that you don't want to exceed 3% or it will throw off the Traction Control. If I got 245/30/19 in front and 245/35/19 in rear, it will be less than a 1% difference in diameter to my stock 17s but it will be costly. Should I just sell the wheels to a G owner and save the headache or will the change in diameter matter that much? What a pain in the ***.

Looks like you drive an Enthusiast. The Enthusiast does NOT have VDC.
I've had these same wheels on my Z for about 2 years now. They are diamond graphite. I have 30mm spacers on the rear and 25mm spacers on the front. I roll these all season on 245/40/19 square setup. I have track rims for when I Autox and HPDE. I like these for DD rims. Be original and don't follow the crowd.

They look good on your z too. Never seen 350s with these, probably because of the offsets but they look pretty mean. I like the way they chop. Did you have to roll the fenders in the rear with those spacers? I have the same size tires and plan on dropping the car with tanabe gf210s, have the 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rear
Thanks man. Yeah I picked these rims because I had not seen any 350z's with them only G's. I didn't have to roll the fenders at all. I'm dropped on Hotchkis springs and everything is just fine.
I would paint your center caps though. Check mine out. When I painted the wheels I painted the center cap as well. I marked off the Nissan logo and painted the center cap. Comes out much nicer.
